A dry, rasping voice begins to muse “Can it be? So long ago, it is hard to remember, before. But how many spellcasting imps can there be in the world.

As she floated down atop the creature, it began to stride off into the distance after the vampires.

“And our first question will be: Has Viggo Blackbriar finally returned?”
